Numeric Usage and Stack Comments

Numeric I/O defaults to hexadecimal.

Switch to decimal with decimal, switch to hexadecimal with hex.

Use 10.d to see which base is currently active.

A numeric stack is used for all numeric parameters. Typing any integer puts that value on top of the stack. (Previous values are pushed down.) The right-hand item in a set always indicates the topmost stack item.

The command "." removes and displays the top stack value.

The command .s non-destructively shows the entire stack contents.

A stack comment such as (n1 n2 -- n3) or (adr len --) or (--) listed after each command name shows the effect on the stack of executing that command. Items before the -- are used by the command and removed from the stack. These items must be present on the stack before the command can properly execute. Items after the -- are left on the stack after the command completes execution, and are available for use by subsequent commands.
